Hair loss occurs after undergoing chemotherapy sessions after sometime depending on the type and the dosage of the chemotherapy drug that one receives. During this phase most of us are desperate to know about best hair loss treatment after chemotherapy.

This article will highlight on the best hair loss treatment that can be followed after chemotherapy and also the other effects of chemotherapy treatment on the hair.

Chemotherapy sessions and hair loss goes hand in hand, keep reading this article for more information.

Basically these chemotherapy drugs are the powerful medications that affect only the rapidly growing cancer cells and unfortunately hair is one of the fastest growing organs in the body due to which it affects the cells present in the hair root to a very great extent.

Hair generally falls after 10 to 14 days after one starts taking the chemotherapy sessions and the hair fall may last up to a month after the completion of the chemotherapy sessions.

The hair which is lost due to the chemotherapy sessions takes about four to six weeks to start growing back. After the sessions of chemotherapy hair generally grows at the pace of quarter inch every month.

The best part about the hair loss after the chemotherapy is that most of the hair gets recovered and one can expect a scalp full of hair after 6 months to one year of stopping the chemotherapy medications.

The texture and the quality of the hair may be slightly different from the original hair but these changes are temporary and it gets recovered back to its original.

As the whole process of losing hair while undergoing chemotherapy sessions is described really traumatic but so far no process has been designed which can help in preventing hair loss while undergoing chemotherapy sessions but these are few of the things that one can follow to lessen the damage.

Cryotherapy method is one in which an ice pack can be placed on the scalp while taking chemotherapy session so that the blood supply of the scalp reduces due to which the chemotherapy drugs will have less effect of the hair of the scalp.

Like chemotherapy radiation also affects the faster growing cells of the body but unlike chemotherapy it only affects the area in an concentrated manner so it will affect the scalp only if head is getting the radiation and it such cases one generally gets a scarring baldness which cannot be recovered for life and one should opt for natural looking systems.

In cases of hair loss after cancer treatment trichologist plays a great role in tendering the right care and in making sure that the cancer patients have their pride and their confidence restored.

It?s really difficult for a person to maintain a natural image after hair loss but it depends a lot on the support that one receives from the family and the friends and therefore they also play a great role in helping the patient to come out of the trauma of hair loss.
